But New Mexico came through on my next-to-last full day with some
pretty interesting weather. A windstorm in the afternoon gave way
to thunder (but almost no lightning -- I saw maybe one indistinct flash)
which gave way to a strange fluffy hail that got gradually bigger until
it eventually grew to pea-sized snowballs, big enough and snow enough
to capture well in photographs as they came down on the junipers
and in the garden.

Then after about twenty minutes the storm stopped the sun came out.
And now I'm back to tweaking tutorial slides and thinking about packing
while watching the sunset light on the Rio Grande gorge.
